Austin Stone Worship - O, Setting Sun (CCM)

Austin Stone Worship - O, Setting Sun
Austin Stone Worship has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called O, Setting Sun.

“O, Setting Sun” is a somber reflection from the perspective of the disciples on Good Friday as they watched Jesus die on the cross without any resolution of resurrection. We pray that it invites you to meditate upon the sacrifice of Jesus in a new way this Good Friday as we prepare our hearts to celebrate the resurrection on Easter Sunday!


O, SETTING SUN - LYRICS

VERSE 1
Who is this man of gentleness
Rejected by the ones He loved
Why would the fount of righteousness
Let mercy flow as crimson blood?

VERSE 2
Alas, did my savior bleed for me
It was my sin that drove the nails
Undying love climbed Calvary
And bore the weight til death prevailed

CHORUS
Oh death, here is your sting
To see my Savior on a tree
Oh hope, where have you gone?
When will you rise, oh setting sun?

VERSE 3
Light of the world hung on a cross
How could it be, has darkness won?
Mourners watched in holy pause
The Word of God, now silent Son

VERSE 4
My Jesus slept, God’s dying Son
Passed from the cross to bless the grave
Rest here, my Lord, ‘til rising sun
When morning breaks to pierce the shade
The morning Son will pierce the shade

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

"Compass (Phileo)" by Chelsea Chaisson: Navigating Life with Faith and Friends

"Compass (Phileo)" by Chelsea Chaisson explores one of the Greek words for love. This song focuses on "phileo" (friendship) and its vital role in life's storms. "Phileo" translates to love that is characterized by affection, fondness, and friendship. It's a warm, tender, and affectionate bond, often seen between friends, siblings, or within a community. It's more about the natural affection we have for those who are close to us.  Chelsea wrote this song when she returned home after living in Cambodia for two years. Faith brought her to Cambodia, sustained her there, and guided her back, but the journey left her feeling like "a little boat" lost in raging seas. At times we may feel like, "I'm drowning, drowning treading water in the wind // I'm drowning, drowning I could use a friend." It's a cry for connection, a reminder that we all need someone to anchor us when fear starts to take over. The fears and lies tha...
